You Are On My Mind! This morning, I want to share with you a couple of thoughts that have been on my mind this week. First of all, let me begin with a word of apprecia on. Yesterday was an incredible day. Nearly 800 of you volunteered to work on over 40 mission projects here at the church and throughout the community and greater Atlanta area. Lives were touched, needs were met, and people will benefit in ways most of you will prob‐ ably never see. Yet, you gathered to help make a difference in the name of Jesus Christ. The words, “Thank you” can’t even begin to express the depth of what I believe the people you ministered to are feeling. S ll, I hope you take some joy in know‐ ing you have been the hands and feet of Christ. On a personal level, you are an inspira on to me. I par cularly want to thank Chris & Samantha Faklaris, the Great Day of Service Commi ee and all of the project coordinators for providing the necessary leadership. I have also been ge ng excited about our Barbeque Bash this evening. It begins at 4:30 p.m. with Children’s Ac vi es. We will have a pe ng zoo and inflatables so the children can play. From 5:30 – 7:00 p.m., we will be having a BBQ dinner (there is no cost for the meal) and a program. Entertainment will be provided by Doug Allen, plus a preview performance from the cast of Godspell, and a perfor‐ mance by the Children’s Choir. The BBQ Bash will help us kick off our focus on the power of generosity. Through your generosity, this church is able to do so much to minister to the lives of peo‐ ple both near and far.
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING In partnership with HomeStretch, we are guiding homeless families with children towards self‐reliance by providing life skills educa on, mentoring and suppor ve housing. We s ll need items for the family home. If you are able to donate any of these items, please contact Samantha Faklaris.
